Uddhav Sena Leader Abhishek Ghosalkar Shot Dead
Abhishek Ghosalkar, a former local politician in Mumbai, was fatally shot during a personal dispute in Dahisar. He was rushed to Karuna Hospital in Borivali but tragically passed away due to his injuries.
This incident occurred shortly after a video surfaced of a BJP MLA firing at a member of the Eknath Shinde faction within a police station in Ulhasnagar. These events have sparked concerns about the state of law and order in Maharashtra.
Who is Mauris Noronha and What Sparked the Controversy?

Insights from Uddhav Sena Spokesperson Anand Dubey
According to Anand Dubey, a spokesperson for the Uddhav Sena, safety is a major concern in Maharashtra under the leadership of Eknath Shinde and Devendra Fadnavis. He questions the safety of both public representatives and the general public, suggesting that the government may be fostering an environment of fear.
